What Are The Alternatives If RAID5 Is Dead And RAID6 Is Dying?

Carl Lindgren

In articles for ZDNet, author Robin Harris claimed in 2007 that RAID5 would be dead in 2009 and now claims RAID6 will be dead by 2019 Why RAID 6 stops working in 2019. There are numerous other articles about the death of RAID5 (including my own here in 2009) but I have to wonder if purchasers of large-scale video surveillance systems shouldn't start considering alternatives even now (RAID1? RAID10? Triple striping alternatives?).

What alternatives are being considered and what alternatives are being deployed?
